Projectdetails

Introduction

Differently from other DBS systems on the market, the AlphaDBS can be programmed with two different types of stimulation:

Types of Stimulation

  1. Conventional DBS: This is implemented also by other DBS systems.
  2. Adaptive DBS (aDBS): This type automatically adjusts the energy delivered to the patient using a biosignal, local field potential (LFP), in a closed-loop configuration.

Local Field Potentials (LFP)

LFPs represent the synchronous presynaptic and postsynaptic activity of neuronal populations and can be recorded with the macro-electrodes routinely implanted for conventional DBS (cDBS).

Relevance in Parkinson Disease

In Parkinson Disease, LFPs (especially in the beta-band) are specifically modulated by:

  • Dopamine intake
  • Movement execution and preparation

Additionally, they encode non-motor functions, such as decision making.

Adaptive Algorithm

The beta band power represents the input variable to the adaptive algorithm, implemented by the AlphaDBS system, which computes a new stimulation value every second.
